Overview
Founder and Executive Director of Teenage Network, Olanike Timipa-Uge, has been selected for the Malala Fund Education Champions Grant, Cohort 8, in recognition of her bold advocacy and leadership in advancing girls’ right to quality, safe and inclusive education in Nigeria.
Through sustained, evidence-based programming, Olanike’s advocacy led to the formulation of the School Re-Entry Guideline for Adolescent Mothers in Nasarawa State, a landmark policy that affirms the right of young mothers to return to education without discrimination.
Her work also led to the development of the Sexual Violence Reporting and Management Framework for Schools in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), strengthening how schools prevent, report, and respond to cases of school related sexual violence.
